' Capitol of Argentina and Congr Square, Bueno Aire. (Prepared by Ihe National Oeoerpble Society, Weehlugloa, D. CI ON OWOSITE titles of the wlJe estuary of the Itlo de la IMnta, only few hour steaming distance apart, lie two of South Auierlca'a greatest cities. Buenoe Aires, capital of Argvntltia, and Montevideo, capital of Uruguay. Buenos Aires means "good air," or "delightful breeses," If one la willing to translate less literally. The city Is not merely the capital and chief port of a South American republic. It la a world center a city of superlative, contrasts and paradoxes. Its population of slightly more than 2.000.1KO makes It, by wide margin, the metropolis of South America and the southern hemisphere. It Is the greatest of Spanish-speaking cities, having nearly three times aa many In habitants as Madrid. It U greater than any other Latin city except Taris. In the New world It shares third place with Philadelphia; only New York and Chicago surpass It And now that I'etrograd and Moscow have shrunk while Vienna Is marking time, It probably ranks or soon will rank as the eighth city of the world, led only by the three metropolis of Europe (London, Berlin and Parts), the two of North America (New York and Chicago), and Tokyo and Osaka In Asia. This great city Is the focus of the culture, thought, politics, economics, and social life of Argentina as well as the funnel through which pour the millions of pounds of dressed meats and the millions of bushels of wheat which make up the contribution of the republic to the hungry peoples of the Old world. Its language Is the Ian gunge of Spain, but many other things Spanish have been thrust aside. Its Inhabitants would laugh at the Idea of a midday siesta so generally ob served In most Spanish-American countries. The rapid development of Argentina has made Innumerable for tunes, and the stream of gold has been poured lavishly Into the lap of Buenos Aires. In no other city, per haps, can one see so strikingly dis played the evidence of extreme opu lence! . - I Making a Marvelous City. In progress and the possession of vision the people of Buenos Aires are unsurpassed even by the restless builders of North America's greatest cities. For centuries after Its estab lishment Buenos Aires was without a pert- Ships anchored miles from the shallow, sandy shore and all freight was handled In lighters. With in the last twenty-five years the mu nicipality has constructed the largest artificial docks in the world. These provide adequate facilities for the thousands of ocean vessels and coast ing craft that put Into Its port an nually. The narrow checker-board of streets In the business center which the colo nial Buenos Aires bequeathed to the world-city of today has been a con stant embarrassment In the face of the demands of modern business. The munlciiKillty has widened some of these narrow ways at a cost of many millions of dollars. Into stately and bnniitonie avenues, and Is cnrvlng other arteries of traffic diagonally through the closely packed squares. In the newer parts of the city streets of ample width and numerous broad avenues have been laid out. Many of the avenues are lined with the costly palaces of Argentina's mul timillionaires. It Is In this part of the city and In su-h seml-buslneiis ave nues as the tree-trimmed Avenlda de Mayo with Its mile or more of fine ho. tela, clubs, cufe, and business build lngl de luxe, that Ituetios Aires re minds the traveler of Paris, The com parison Is forced on the observer ngalo when he drives In the afternoon through Palermo pnrk, the Holt de J'oulogne of But'tios Aires, and be comes a part of the seemingly Inter minable procession of smart eiilingee bearing their throng of well-dressed men and women. The men of Buenos Aires are up to date in all things; but Its women are even ahead of the times. They wear the latest Pnrls creations even before they are donned by tlie-l'itrislennes themselves. Climate must be given Its rightful place In the explanation of this paradox. Summer models are designed In Paris In December, and the reversal of the seasons south of the Equator makes these seemingly premature creations flttlng attire In Buenos Aires In January and February when they reach the beau monde of that distant metropolis. Buenos Aires Is In the south latitude correspond lug to that of Charleston. S. 0, north of the Equator, and has a climate somewhat Ilk that of the country be tween Charleston and Norfolk, though drier. ' 7 mi i l?ra..w)iWAatofa-V Montevideo, on the northern shore of the estuary, presents In Its tempo something of a contrast to Buenos Aires. Physically, It Is situated so that It Is one of the healthiest cities In. the world, and It has an equable climate which makes It a delightful place to live In. In addition It pos sesses an atmosphere free from the bustle and noise of the more modern end commercial Buenos Aires and the more metropolitan Itlo. Because of these features, Montevideo bos become the resort city of South America' At lantic coast Thousand of wealthy South Americans are to be found there at nearly all seasons of the year, par ticipating In the carnivals, gambling in the great government-owned ca sinos that may be compared to those of Monte Carlo, or merely enjoying the restful life of this city which till clings to the Spanish bnblt of look ing to "manana." Since Montevideo la in the southern hemisphere Its sea sons are the reverse of those In the Cnlted States. Visitor are especially numerous for the bathing season which begins in October, correspond ing to the northern May, and Is at It height at Christmas, the southern midsummer. Perached Impression of Monte video will bring to mind many similes and contrasts with better known cities. Like New York It covers a narrow strip of land from shore to shore. In this case a peninsula. But In archi tecture It Is the antithesis of the North American metropolis, being made up of a seemingly vast number of low stone buildings, a few two or three stories In height, the great ma jority of them but one story. The principal thoroughfnre, "The Avenue ; of the Eighteenth of July," extending ; along the ridge of the peninsula, with j Its colonnades and sidewalk cafes, j gives a touch of Paris. And as a great packing center for the live stock produced on the unsurpassed pasture of Uruguay, Montevideo I comparable to Chicago or Kansa City. Evidence of this fact Is sometimes wafted on the winds when they blow to the city from the sent of the gigantic lndustrv across the lay. ' Clings to Old Custom. 1 . In physical equipment Montevideo Is modern. It Is well lighted, well watered, adequately supplied with transportation facilities, and most ad mirably drained. Socially It cllnw to the past following more faith fully than any other large city out atde of Spain and the Orient the old Spanish -Moorish traditions of society proper attitude toward women Courting Is still carried on by smit ten swains parading below the bal conies of their senoritas and whisper ing sweet nothings to them from a safe distance. Ladles go freely on the streets but not In the company of men. "Society I mainly a matter of family parties. Even at the opera there ore aeparnte gallerie for men and women, and unlesa a Montevldlnn family man can afford the price of orchestra seat he must view the pro duction from one level while hi wife look on from another. A cloistered life can hardly be said to have affected the appeurance ol the women adversely. Throughout South America Montevideo ha the reputation formerly possessed by Bud apest of harboring the most beautiful women of It continent, Montevideo has nearly a scors ol dally newspapers, and the voices of a smull army of newsboys are beard constantly except during an hour and a half nt midday when a "siesta" U enforced by law for all buslnesa. With the voices of the newsboy mingle those of youth and derelict adult hawking government lottery tickets! or boxes of matches from the sale of which the government also obtains1 revenue. JtiHt as Cruguny Is free from phy sical extremes It Is without moun tains or gorges, desert or Jungles so Montevideo I without social ex tremes. It has no squalid slum and no ostentatious "millionaires' row." It may not Inaptly be dubbed a comfort able bourgeois paradise. Montevideo is famed for It port which is one of the best on the At lantic coast of the America. The city has a population of approximately 4WMMK), more than a quarter of the population of the entire 72,000 square mites of the republic.

Or sup pose that they are engaged In their nefarious deeds In some other depart ment of France." Then Chauvelln, rejoined coolly, "all you'd have to do would he to con tlnue your Journey to Paris and set your family down In the t'onclergerie. ready to await trial and the Inevitable guillotine. No barm will bare been done. There'll be a family of traitor less In your district anyway, snrl you must beglr the setting of your com edy sll over again. Sooner or later, U you set your trup In the way I have outlined for you. that cursed Sen r let Pimpernel will fall Into It. Sooner or later." he reiterated emphatically, "I am sure of It. My only regret Is that I didn't think of this plan before now However, there nothing lost, and all 1 can do now. my friend. Is to wish ' you success. If yon succeed yoo are a made man. And you will succeed. ' Chauvelln concluded, rising and hold Ing out his hand to Ms colleague. "II yoo follow my Instructions to the last letter." "Ton may be sure I'll do that." Lao get snld with earnest emphasis. And the two sleuth hounds shook hands on their project snrt drank a glass of wine to its success Hut be fore Chauvelln tliinltt took leave ol his friend he turned to hi in with re newed earnestness and solemnity. "And, above all. my good l.nuzet,' he told glowly, "remember Hint In all thl your wiilchwuird must be 'Silence and discretion.' iretilheehul a word of your Intention to a living soul end yoo are hound to full. The English pie have their spies, who serve them well They hsve a long purse which will alternatively purchase help from their friends and treiirhery from ours. Breathe not of your project tn an living soul, friend Lauxet. or yout bead will pay the price of your Indls cretlon." Lauzet was only too ready to give the required promise, sjnid the two friends then parted on a note of tuo taal confidence and esteem. CHAPTER III Enmeshed A fortnight later the whole of the little city of Moe,n whs In a ferment owing to the arrest of one of Its most respected tradesmen. Cltltvn .f'esiie who, anyone would have thought, was absolutely shove suspicion, had been put to the Indignity of a summnr) perquisition In tils house. He had pro tested as was only natural under the circumstances and In consequence ol this moderate protest he had been dragged before the chief of section at Mantes and had to submit to a mosi rigorous and most humiliating inter rogatory. Nay morel He was de talned for two whole days, while his Invalid wife and pretty Utile dntigli ter were well-nigh distraught with anxiety. Then, on the top of that, there foi lowed another perquisition; just Ba H anyone could susfiei'i the Hm-ze fnm lly of treason against their country They certainly had never been hotly In favor o'. the extreme mmsiirei. taken by the revolutionary government such as the execution of the erai while king and of Marie Antoim-u cl devanl queen ol France toil f rl ten Pesexe had always abstained from politics.

But what would otrf Piety wa reckoned a sin thee day, and who would dare protest J " The servants at the substantial house Inhabited by the Deaete finally were speechless with tears.

They, too, had been sura marlly arrested, and were being dragged to Pari for their trial when by tome unforeseen nilrncle. they had been rescued and conveyed to afely to England. No one knew bow, nor who the gallant rescuer were; but rumor were rife and some were wild The ititterstltlou believed In direct divine Interference, though they dnred not say this openly: but In their hearts they prayed that Ood might tn terfere In the same way on hehnlf ol good I ltlr.cn tVseze and his family. Poor Hector Peaete himself had noi much hope on that score. He ws s pious man. It Is true, but his piety consisted In reslenatlon to the will of flod.

I have no III nil! toward yoo. hut I am not prepared to lake such a risk on your behalf." "But my poor wife." rteteze pro tested, putting his pride tn his pocket and stooping to appeal to the man who had once been a menial In his pay. "She Is almost bedridden now and hat not long tn live. Could yoo not exercise tome benevolent tulhor lly for her anker Laurel shook hit head. "Impost! ole," he tald decltlvely.
